I've never done a grow in a res that small but I think about an inch and a half would be enough air space. What you need to do is a realistic height assessment. Start from the top down, thinking lights, space, buds,screen height and so on until you know how everything needs to fit and then think about a reservoir size or growing style.

1200 - 1800 is the normal range most growers aim for.
2000 is the stopping point and a no-no bcuz the plants metab slows down past that number.
And that seller said the bag contains 20,0000 ppm's !?!?!

Like gravity feed it from above or something ?
You think it would use all that water in one day ?
I have to battle humidity if I grow during the Summer, so that's when I chill and start back up in the Fall.
Well according to the specs listed, my math shows it will run the 2.45L reservoir dry in just under 8 hours if left on full-time. It obviously wouldn't be on 100% but that's worst case. But I'm guessing yeah, you'd be filling it waaay more often than you'd like. Gravity feed can get messy unless your fittings and seals are perfect. I had problems with a rain barrel design I tried to run that way. I solved it by running them "in parallel" meaning that both 55gallon drums were connected to each other at the bottom. That way the volume and pressure in both stayed the same. So I was picturing a 5 gallon bucket at the same level as the humidifier chamber, with a tube connecting both at the bottom. Your thoughts?

Alright current and future Deep Water Cooler Club members, here's what I just saw at my local Wal Fart :
Igloo Marine coolers (all white) w/ drain plug and like mine (48qt/12gal) = $24.88
Igloo Breeze (red/white; see pic) w/o drain and I have one of these too (48qt) = $19.88
Igloo cooler for clones just like mine = $9.88
Coleman 5gal "bucket" sports cooler w/ drain = $21.88
And there were other various larger and smaller coolers, than what I have.
Like 120qt/30gal and square 5gal coolers on wheels w/ a telescopic handle.
I also found these great aerator's that are made to attach to coolers like ours so you can keep your fish alive with lots of dissolved oxygen.
I saw one for $22 that I like.
It's rated for 10 - 25 gallons and the pvs tubing extends above your water level to softly shower down into the water creating lots of oxygen.
It comes with a 2-wire, 16G cord with battery clamps on the end to connect to your boat.
I found plenty of 2-wire 16G extension cords that you can splice and rewire to the aerator pump so you won't need the clamps ( but save them).
Also has 3 big suction cups on the bottom and can be mounted on the side wall if you don't want it on the cooler bottom, plus a removable/washable filter.

The other model actually attaches to the side wall and has a few more components that makes it cost $35.
It has the same cord w/ attached battery clamps, but again, you can rewire it to plug in your wall.
It's actually the same 500GPH aerator pump and used for 10 - 25gals, but it comes with the pvc suction pipes for side wall mounting and large diameter tubing to feed it.

I am wondering if it will give more DO than my air stones ?
Fish only need 7ppm's of DO to survive and breathe.

hey hey flo
ok heres what i found out on those, been reading up on them for a while as you know, well those do generate some D O, but the ones i prefered had an airline attachment at the bottom & brought it right into the impeller itself so infusing it with the recurculation the bilge pump is performing and by doing so realy produced the D O we crave. The fast-moving water at the output of the pump creates a vacuum, which suck air into the pump output. This system typically provides larger amounts of smaller air bubbles than previously discussed aerators,
Microbubble oxygen diffusers produces a cloud of extremely fine bubbles - 100 to 500 microns. This is much finer than graphite or carborundum diffusers, or porous hose, and because the diffuser is flat, the bubbles do not coalesce as with circular section diffusers.
KA970-02 Diffuser $49.95

trying to find some more pics to explain better, but heres another one for you, a Ceramic Diffuser,

this is the one i'm ordering http://keepalive.net/recirculating.htm this one based on the 460 gph & only draws 1.2A
going to keep the 1100 for another grow, got to run more electricity for it, fukka draws 6A

Yeah, that 460 was the one I was looking at too.
Seems perfect and an easy way to get rid of these air stones.
Bought enough stones and we might as well get 2 of these for long term use.
Like my new avatar !?
Mason Moore......Super Squirter !! Mmmm lmao
Deep Wet C**t..........hehe
